As the choreographer of the work researching, toying around and experimenting various ideas , this idea has been pregnant in my brain since 2011. As obvious as the title suggests the work could not not have an online segment to it, which is why and how ‘Forum’ has come about.

Collaboration is not just a buzz word but also a key concept to any and all aspects of our lives. I felt it would be exciting to hear what all your voices – be it verbal, aural or visual feel about your “ONline” and “OFFline” selves. I see this space/place as a virtual gathering of ideas, thoughts, opinions, comments, questions and many more all focussed along the lines of real and virtual identity.

Oh well …yes, its time I confessed that I too belong to that community of people obsessed with the cliched, but all too fertile idea of Identity. Just so we know this FORUM is all about Identity!

Feel free to trigger any conversation/dialogue hovering around any of the following words/phrases which kickstarted my process of choreography for FYP:

Every window that we open online almost demands an username and a password
Multiple usernames and passwords
Memory – to recall and remember
Randomness
Patterns existing in creation of usernames and passwords
What personal relationship do we share with the usernames and passwords if at all any?
